Repeal of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Fossil Fuel-Fired Electric Generating Units (Draft)
Jun. 18, 2025
In this action, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to repeal all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants. The EPA is proposing that the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires it to make a finding that GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution, as a predicate to regulating GHG emissions from those plants. The EPA is further proposing to make a finding that GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants do not contribute significantly to dangerous air pollution. The EPA is also proposing, as an alternative, to repeal a narrower set of requirements that includes the emission guidelines for existing fossil fuel-fired steam generating units, the carbon capture and sequestration/storage (CCS)-based standards for coal-fired steam generating units undertaking a large modification, and the CCS-based standards for new base load stationary combustion turbines. Comments must be received on or before 7 August 2025. POC is Ms. Lisa Thompson tele: (919) 541-5158; and email: thompson.lisa@epa.gov. (Federal Register 17 June 2025 [Proposed Rule] Pages 25752-25781)
